Edit do you like your doctor?

<p><strong>But to what focus? To treat an illness or to promote health?</strong></p> <p>I sometimes question my role as a doctor as we are trained to look for diseases. We are trained to look for something that is not working or something that is lacking. And we have every test and treatment in the market to fix it! <br /><br />I saw a new patient last week who came to me requesting something to be done about the deep frown line she had. She works in the military and she confessed to losing her femininity being in the military and wanted to look fresh when her boyfriend returns from his duty trip. It was the first time she had anything "cosmetic" done.</p> <p><strong>How many of you would like to look your best when you have not seen a loved one for 6 months?</strong></p> <p>However, she told me the last place she had gone to make her feel so "inferior" that she was worried that she was a lost cause. She explained they were basically telling her all they could do for her since she had not cared for her skin previously and she was closing in on 40. She felt so out of place and was thinking if she was being "selfish" or "foolish" for wanting to make changes so "late" in life.</p> <p><strong>Hmm.... reminds me a little bit about features and benefits!</strong></p> <p>Doctors are not Gods. Nor are they the gatekeepers to our health. The saying often goes - "Doctors are the worst patients!".</p> <p>Each of us has the capacity to heal and to be in tune with ourselves to know what is good for us. <br /><br /><strong>Doctors, I feel are in changing roles in this new era that they not only be doctors but also teachers.</strong></p> <p>Doctors should ignite the enthusiasm within all of us to learn about health. To inspire us to work with our bodies and mind towards a healthy and vital life. To instil questions within all of us to be curious and aware on how our environment and past conditioning affect our current and future health. To teach us to be our own detectives. To be our partners in health. <br /><br /><strong>Me, I believe everyone can be their own doctor.</strong></p> <p>It's all down to the questions we ask ourselves. </p> <ul> <li><strong>How healthy do I want to feel?</strong></li> <li><strong>How healthy am I feeling right now?</strong></li> <li><strong>What am I doing to achieve the level of health I want?</strong></li> <li><strong>What does my body need right now?</strong></li> <li><strong>What 3 things can I improve on to move me closer to my optimum health?</strong></li> <li><strong>How young do I want to look?</strong></li> <li><strong>How young am I looking right now?</strong></li> <li><strong>What am I doing to achieve the level of youth I want?</strong></li> <li><strong>What does my skin need right now?</strong></li> <li><strong>What 3 things can I improve on to move me closer to looking at my optimum youth? </strong> </li> </ul> <p>So a final question to all of you -<strong> how many of you are willing to be doctors to the ones you love!</strong></p>
